It's important to note that Wood's claims are unsubstantiated, but other child stars from the same era have made similar accusations in the past.

In 2011, Corey Feldman said he and other child stars in the '80s were abused by people with a lot of power in the entertainment industry.

"I can tell you that the No. 1 problem in Hollywood was and is and always will be pedophilia. ... There was a circle of older men that surrounded themselves around this group of kids," Feldman said in an interview.

Declining to give specifics, Feldman said a Hollywood executive is directly responsible for the drug and alcohol problems that contributed to the death of his friend and fellow child star Corey Haim.

Wood said he was lucky to have a mom who protected him from abuse but added, "I've been led down dark paths to realize that these things probably are still happening."
